450 liners Imprisoned in
The Mine, 75 Bodies
Rlecovered.
By Union Associated Press.
Johnstown, Pa., July 11.-Up
to early today rescuing parties
have succeeded in taking out 75
bodies from the ruins of the great
rolling mill coal mine which oc
curred yesterday afternoon. It
is now estipated that between
200 and 250 have perished. The
explosion took place in the Cam
bria Steel company's mine at
12:20 yesterday afternoon.
The disaster is only less fright
ful than the flood of 1889 in cost
of life. It will take several days
to determine the numberof dead,
as at least 450 men are impris
oned. The disaster occurred in
the part of the mine known as
Klondyke. Itis hoped that many
have been saved by pumping
firesh air into the mine. All
night hundreds of brave men
have been fighting death in the
vain attempt to reach the scene
of the explosion through the gas
filled chambers of the colliery.*
Four victims of the Klondyke
mention have been brought to the
surface alive. Hundreds of wait
ing women and children are at
the entrance of the mine waiting
for news of loved ones. The en
tire cityis in mourning.
SHOULD USE MORE CARE.
By Union Associated Press.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 11.
President Mitchell said today:
"The frequency with which these
accidents occur is strong argu
ment for the legislature to pass
more stringent laws regulating
the ventilation of gas mines. If
the cempanies were more careful
in protecting the lives cof the
miners than redlucing the costof
production the occupatiol of the
miner would be less hazardous.
